Unsure how drops provide more control on "spicy" roads. Longer lever == less movement of lever to change direction.
The hate for flats is so silly and irrational (esp w/ inner bar ends or alt bars), but I suppose we'll have to endure it ad infinitum for... reasons.
I didn't see any "hate" for flat bars. Also, longer lever equals less movement? You mean as in wide flat bars compared to relatively narrow drops?
And drops are certainly better for control compared to the same width flat bars. I do have 780mm flats on my mtb which is a huge improvement over the narrow things we had years ago.
